...little data exist on the use of catheter ablation for AVNRT in elderly patients... Cardiovascular interventional therapies are often withheld from elderly patients, owing to a perceived increase in ...

The largest study comparing the short-term and long-term outcomes of radiofrequency catheter ablation with cryoablation in patients with atrioventricular (AV) nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT) has ...

When high doses of AV blocking drugs are not successful to lower ventricular rates in the setting of atrial fibrillation, AV node ablation can be utilized. Remember that all atrial action potentials ...

One approach to this problem has been the use of radiofrequency ablation of the AV node to create complete heart block, followed by implantation of a pacemaker. Symptom relief is good, with attendant ...

In patients with atrial fibrillation that is refractory to drug therapy, radio-frequency ablation of the atrioventricular node and implantation of a permanent pacemaker are an alternative therapeutic ...

Atrioventricular (AV) nodal ablation with pacing is an alternative therapeutic option in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and difficult-to-control ventricular rates that are unresponsive to ...

Introduction: Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is one of the most common regular supraventricular arrhythmias referred for catheter ablation (CA). In Poland, several families with ...

A "pace-and-ablate" strategy substantially boosted survival for permanent atrial fibrillation (Afib) patients with a narrow QRS across the range of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), the ...
